ROCHESTER - The Rochester Public Library has announced several varied and interesting programs lined up for November and December including.
Writing Family Stories: Saturday from 10-noon
What family stories do you carry with you? What story do you tell over and over? What landscape do you cherish the most? One of the deepest human instincts is to tell our life stories, to figure out who we are and what it means to be human. This interactive workshop led by Maura MacNeil explores how the landscapes of our lives shape the stories that we tell. Participants explore the themes of family, memory, and place through sample narratives and a series of short writing exercises, gaining a deeper awareness of how their stories can preserve personal, generational, and communal history. This program is available as an in-person or online presentation.
Local author talks about pilot training: Wednesday 6 p.m.
Keith candidly shares his triumphs and disappointments while placing you in the cockpit and inside his head as he struggles through what is required to become a private pilot. Registration is not required for this program.

Local author talks about NH covered bridges: Dec. 3 11 a.m.
The City of Rochester was once home to three covered bridges and there were at least eleven covered bridges in Strafford County.
